More Regent's mooring
These will be long term moorings on the off-side of the canal at Acton's Lock. Known as Bluebell Moorings, the scheme in Haggerston will provide 10 leisure berths as well as a new water point, Elsan disposal and pump out, which will be available for all boaters to use.
Pontoon moorings
The moorings will be on a new pontoon on the off-side, however the construction works mean that towpath moorings between Acton's Lock and Queensbridge Road will need to be suspended for around six weeks.
Canal & River Trust is working with the contractors to ensure that boats can remain on site as long as possible and are only moved on when really necessary. There may also be occasional stoppages to the navigation for up to an hour at a time to allow heavy equipment to be moved.
Works are due to commence on 23rd March and be completed by 1st May, after which the new boater facilities should be ready for use.
Lee Navigation
New boater facilities are also due to be opened in April on the Lee Navigation, once new leisure moorings are completed in Hackney Wick adjacent to the East development in the Olympic Park. The facilities will provide a new pump-out and water facilities, available for all boaters.
